Doomed from start

I could not disagree with John Tomase more (“2012 disaster all on Bobby V,” Sept. 21). The Sox problems starting when pitching coach John Farrell left, and the pitching staff went with beer and chicken. Ownership should have realized this and shipped out the bad apples such as Josh Beckett. Bobby Valentine, if he had had his own staff and ownership support, may have had a chance for a decent year. But he never really had a chance for us to judge him properly. He was constantly on the defensive. It is so obvious now with hindsight.
